This week, our school put on a fantastic production of West Side Story It ran for 2 hours on both Tuesday and Wednesday night, and the audience loved every second of it. Pupils from every year group contributed to performing and running the show, it was an excellent showcase of the talented people we have at St Teresa’s, as well as some incredible teamwork and organisational skills. Bravo to everyone involved, you should be very proud of what you accomplished in this production!
On Thursday, we hosted the annual Academic Scholars dinner. This evening brought our scholars together for meaningful discussion, on thought-provoking topics and philosophical ideas. They got to enjoy a wonderfully prepared meal including sweet & sour chicken, sweet chili tofu and a delicious homemade chocolate brownie St Teresa's look forward to continuing this tradition with our excellent academic scholars.
Well done everyone for all their efforts this term, and I hope you all have a fun and restful Easter holiday Mr Field
ANNUAL EGG ROLLING
The Easter festivities began with the annual egg decorating session Pupils got creative with their designs, producing a fantastic range of colourful and imaginative eggs to celebrate the season. Their artistic efforts added an extra layer of excitement in the runup to our big event!
Today, the whole school gathered for our much-loved Annual Egg Rolling Competition. With decorated eggs in hand, pupils took turns rolling them down the drive, all hoping to claim the title of this year ’ s Grand Champion! The event was full of excitement, laughter, and plenty of competitive spirit as everyone cheered on their eggs.
Well done to all who took part, and congratulations to our Egg Rolling Champions of the year!
BOARDING
What a fantastic final week of term we have had in boarding!
Our boarders enjoyed a beautiful and reflective Chapel Lenten Service, followed by an exciting trip to London for some well-earned shopping. Back at school, the Easter spirit was in full swing with a brilliant Easter egg hunt, bringing lots of fun and laughter to the houses.
We finished the week in style with a wonderful Boarders’ Celebration Meal, where there were plenty of Easter eggs, prizes, and smiles all round. It was a lovely way to come together and celebrate such a positive and successful term.
Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter!
We look forward to welcoming everyone back for lots of egg-citing weekend trips next term.
